I actually had him covered by a decent amount but he thought he had me covered, thus the call. It was effectively a super turbo and the blinds doubled a couple of hands later. The hit of this hand + the blinds doubling put me in an ugly spot, and I went out about 15 minutes later.
I thought later I should have just shoved with the A-8, but he probably calls anyway, at least based on how he played later. I do hate those tournament structures with blinds doubling so fast, as I truly suck at shove poker.
